It was another day of dismal and confusing umpiring decisions at the new-look ground with a steel exoskeleton

Shot of the day

Michael Clarke off Graeme Swann After a scratchy and nervy start the Australia captain finally looked to have his eye in with consecutive boundaries. The first was guided through the covers, the second a cracker – a skip down the wicket capped with a lofted straight drive

Ball of the day

Graeme Swann to Steve Smith Midway through the afternoon session, the England spinner got one to grip and rip from a foot outside off stump. Smith was smacked on the pad and given not out. The DRS was no help to England on this occasion – by the narrowest of margins – but it was still a magnificent delivery

New Trafford

In the main the revamped ground looked in fine fettle, but the trudge to the pavilion doesn't seem quite right in front of a steel exoskeleton

With friends like these …

The final ball of Graeme Swann's fifth over of the day was delayed due to a kerfuffle behind the bowler's arm. It turned out to be Victoria cricketer Daniel Salpietro having a 'run-in' with a steward. Out in the middle his Victoria team-mate Chris Rogers, his concentration broken, had an ill-advised swipe and was trapped lbw

Disastrous review system

(Clarifying another difficult day for DRS)

Swann to Khawajacaught behind Given out. Despite being not out. Swann to Smith lbw Ball clumping leg stump.Had he been given out he would have been out. But given not out so stays in Broad to Smith lbw Hitting middle. Given not out. No reviews left. So stays in. Despite being out Anderson to Smith caught behind Given not out. A sound suggests a nick. But not clear. So stays in. Despite being out. Possibly. We don't really know any more
